HENDERSON’S 
NEW TOMATO, 
Perfection in tomatoes at last. 
When we introduced the Ponderosa we hazarded 
the opinion that that famous variety was the fore- 
runner of a new race of Tomatoes that would even- 
tually displace the seedy, strongly acid sorts in gen- 
eral cultivation, and the advent of this splendid 
variety verifies this prediction. The ‘Crimson 
Cushion ”’ is not so long as the Ponderosa, but is 
much thicker through from stem to ‘‘ blossom 
end ”; in fact, so marked is this characteristic, that 
it is frequently almost round. The color is brilliant 
scarlet crimson, untinged witb purple, and ripens 
up almost completely to the stem. The ‘‘ Crimson 
Cushion,” like the Ponderosa, is almost seedless, re- 
quiring from 10 to 1y bushels of ripe fruit to pro- 
duce one pound of seed. whereas a pound of seed is 
realized from 3 bushels of ordinary tomatoes. These 
figures tell better than any description the ‘* seed- 
less” character of this grand variety. The flesh is 
firm and ‘‘meaty,’ and of superb quality. It is 
enormously prolific and equal to any sort as a 
etippel (See cut.) 20c. pkt., 8c. oz., $2.50

Henderson’s 
The vines are strong and vigorous and easily carry their enormous weight of fruit. 
Its massive, ponderous fruits are almost perfect in form, and when we come to size, 
weight and solidity, no other tomato begins toapproach it. The skin is exceedingly firm, 
which will cause it 10 be largely grown for shipping purposes. The color, a rich 
crimson, permeates the fruit from circumference to centre, so that when sliced for the 
table, its rare beauty never fuils to elicit general admiration. It isalmost seedless. It is 
very early for so large a tomato. One patron writes that he had splendid tomatoes of 
the ‘‘ Ponderosa ’”’ in 100 days from sowing the seed. Its flavor is delicious, 
whether used raw or cooked. l(c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.75 4 lb.
